Mungo Thomson Bio

About The Artist

Working with films, photography, sculptures, and books, artist Mungo Thomson makes art that reflects mass culture. His work expresses an interest in the obvious because what is obvious is often overlooked and actually mysterious. He explores assumptions, backgrounds, and contexts, seeking to expose the importance of what lies behind the action.

Thomson has been featured in both the 2008 Whitney Biennial in New York and the 2008 Le Havre Biennale in Le Havre, France. In addition to his numerous group exhibitions, Thomson has had solo exhibitions in Paris, Italy, Switzerland, and throughout the United States.
